Several uncontrollable opening windows

When you use Windows 7, I'll click and all of a sudden several windows will start appearing out of control. It's as if my mouse is clicking several times on the same link over and over again. This happens with Google Chrome (the dialogue 'Download' or the 'open' dialog box is displayed) or even on the desktop (which appear several windows of the windows Explorer). I even had this happen with the app "sticky." I also happen with MS Word (2010 Beta), and IE Explorer (64-bit). No error message is displayed. I assumed a driver conflict and tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for my MS Wireless Optical Mouse (2.0) and MS Wireless Keyboard 3000, but nothing has changed. I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Dv8t (laptop).

Here's a suggestion based on an experience of time. I had the same problem on a laptop computer years ago. I wish that I was sure that whoever fixed it, but I recall it was the pilot who had recently been updated, if perhaps it had to do with power management. Frustrating, hang in there, you just have to eliminate one thing at a time and always backward and start bases (no guessing) it's good troubleshooting practrice.

  • Publish with windows defender - error code 800106ba when I try to open Windows Defender

    I use windows vista sp2 32 bit op system.
    Windows Defender is set to automatic. but when I try to open windows defender, I get an error code 800106ba
    Please notify hw to enable this feature for protection.

    If you use another program (other than MSE) AV, Windows Defender may also be disabled. Examples of these other programs include but are not necessarily limited to: AVG, Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro.

    Hi the ball

    Kaspersky does not automatically turn off Windows Defender. However, it is recommended that, as usual, Windows Defender real-time protection is not enabled when Kaspersky is installed. Its a similar situation with Windows and Kaspersky firewall products that have built in firewall.

    I used Kaspersky products for several years and it has always been the case in my experience. I just tested with Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 race and I was luckily allowed to activate the protection in real time of the defenders of Windows and the Windows Firewall.

    I hope this helps.  :)

    How to change the extensions on several files with Windows 7?

    You hear no doubt, is that your movie software will only recognize certain types of image file formats.  If this is the case, you will need to reformat format files to any format PNG is recognizable by the software.

    Rather than we guess, please identify your «film» software

    Download and install IrfanView, which is a free utility for images.  http://www.IrfanView.com/

    IrfanView has the ability to read a great many formats of image files.  It can also convert image files formats.  And even better - for you - it can do all these things on a batch of files.

    As test, after I installed IrfanView, open one of your PNG files.  Now click on file > save as, and select the 'Save as Type' to be little matter the file type of your movie software will accept.  Save the file.  Make sure your movie software can accept the new file.

    Once you are convinced that you can modify files that you have in a format that you can use, use IrfanView

    File > Batch Conversion/Rename command.  If necessary, see IrfanView help on this topic.

  • Cannot open Windows 7 Pro Media Player

    Original title: windows 7 pro MediaPlayer.

    Windows media player does not open... I tried the restore without success. Something is wrong with the path I think.

    Do these two steps [they are the closest thing possible to uninstall then reinstall WMP & will actually provide a new installation of WMP]

    1 unload WMP *-control panel, programs and features, [left] turn on or off has Windows, multimedia features, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    2 reload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn Windows features on or off, multimedia features, set the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    * I guess that WMP has previously been loaded.  WMP is a component of all editions of Windows 7 [but not for 'N' & 'KN' Versions] and is loaded by default for several editions of Windows 7 [it is not loaded by default for Pro or Ultimate Editions].

  • Firefox does not ask for confirmation when exit/close with several tabs open

    I'm having the same problem as user here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1139845 (only I have different OS)

    When multiple tabs open, Firefox ask me never confirmation when I click Firefox close window button in the corner (usually accidentally). And I would like confirmation.

    about: config I have:

    true browser.showQuitWarning (it is marked as custom value (bold), default is false)

    true browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab

    and when I close Firefox (usually accidentally) I get window of journalist of crash that I submit usually.

    Update: claims of a member who never close the confirmation appears for only one Firefox window, only several windows of Firefox. According to me, that this is of people probably half of bad idea is not using multiple windows, only the multiple tabs.

    The-edmeister says

    All you need to do is use the Previous Session Restore, either the default value: House in the lower right corner or history homepage > restoration of previous Session. ...

    Thank you very much for the input. Indeed, I go to Options/General and together "when Firefox starts:" 'Show my home page' and when I click on X to close the FF button, then asked to FF:

    "Want you Firefox to save your tabs for the next time it starts? I click on "Save and exit" when I start FF, tabs are automatically re-open! :-) It's very, very happy.

    I never thought tabs will be reopened when the blank page is set initially. And I did not tried because I usually have several tabs open, so do not wanted to risk. For me, the issue is resolved. THX

  • Win 7 64 bit - 3rd third party apps won't open Windows dialogs (save money, save, open, import, etc.)

    I'm running Windows 7 pro 64-bit. I have Office 2010 installed and a host of 3rd party applications. The problem is that all my 3rd party apps are impossible to open a dialog box or the child window.

    For example, if I use Open Office and am writing or Calc and go to save a document by clicking file > save, the Open Office window will quickly blink a couple of times and nothing will happen. No dialog box opens. Therefore, I'm unable to save the file. Keyboard shortcuts don't work either for this purpose. However, if I change the options in the preferences of Open Office to use dialog boxes Open native Office, then everything works fine.

    The only problem with this approach is that very few applications have this option. All native applications of MS just excellent work. It's only a 3rd party app problem. So, what I get out of this is that there is probably a registry problem where applications are trying to make a call, but the key is no longer there or corrupted in some way. I'm trying not to reinstall Windows 7 because I don't want to go through the pain to reinstall all applications.

    Things I've tried so far: uninstall antivirus, repair Windows, disable all controls user account, disable firewall, compatibility running administrator mode, mode reinstall application, latest updates of windows, video drivers, safe mode and updated firmware mobo. No dice. I do not have a restore point to before time, I started to notice the problem. I'm not sure that I have installed, uninstalled or removed which may have caused the issue.

    This problem is killing me. Any help is appreciated.

    Hello face down.

    There are a few things you can try to see if it helps.

    One, run SFC/scannow to see if you have files corrupted in Windows 7 system.
    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Reboot your system.

    Then, try and see if you are still not able to open Windows dialog boxes. If this isn't the case, then I think your next option would be to do a upgrade in Place who fixes Windows 7.
    However, you will need to have the Windows 7 DVD.

    The upgrade in place is a tool to fix the system. Thanks to the special upgrade process, we will be able to repair the system. The upgrade in place will not affect the settings like photos, movies, documents, etc. that are saved on the computer. Although this operation will not remove or modify the files and installed programs, I suggest always that you back up important files before you do. In addition, you may need to reinstall the device drivers after this operation.

    The detailed steps are included as below:

    On-site upgrade
    ====================
    1 log on to the system first.
    2. Insert the Windows 7 DVD in the DVD drive of the computer.
    3. Click Start and select computer.
    4. find the "setup.exe" file in the DVD-ROM and double-click it.
     
    5. click on install now.

    6. When you are prompted to enter the product key, please click Next directly without entering any key. The installation wizard will prompt and ask if you confirm to install Windows 7 without the key and choose please confirm.

    7. When you get to the screen ' which type of installation you want', click upgrade to upgrade the Windows 7 system files.
     
    Note: When running the upgrade on the spot, the system will restart automatically (several times) to merge the files and programs, please leave the computer alone and does not configure it until the 'upgrade on the spot"finished. The system should start Windows 7, once it is upgraded. Once the computer is running "upgrade on the spot", you can go and leave the computer and it completes automatically.

    Please answer back with an update and let us know if it helps.

  • -Pop-up UAC every time when opening Windows Live Mail

    Original title: Why UAC continues to appear whenever I open Windows Live Mail? Even after I uninstall and install again and again. And other problems...

    Everytime I open Windows Live mail, the box of the UAC appears, asking me if I want this program to make changes... I uninstalled, installed and repaired several times according to the guidelines of this forum, but it continues to happen.

    Also, when I delete messages, it removes the 2 at the same time? It opens also 2 boxes of response when I reply to an e-mail message.

    Not a fan of Live mail.

    Salute TarHeel,

    I understand that it must be frustrating, but rest assured, we're here to help solve your problem and guide you in the right direction.

    Before I continue with the troubleshooting steps I may need a few more details to better understand the issue.
    1. you open Windows Live Mail from one account administrator or Standard?
    2. do you get this pop-up only when using Windows Live Mail?
    3. did you of recent changes on the computer before this problem?

    Method 1:
    I suggest you run Windows Live Essentials as administrator and check if it helps.

    (a) click Start and click run.
    (b) type Windows Live Essentials in Search.
    (c) right click on Windows Live Essentials and click Properties.
    (d) click the Compatibility tab.
    (e) to the check box for run this program as an administrator under the privilege level.
    (f) click apply and Ok.
    (g) check whether the problem is resolved.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists I suggest you turn off user account control and check if it helps.

    Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help you to prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. It works by asking permission when a task requires administrative rights, such as installing software or changing settings affecting other users. We do not recommend disable user account control. If you turn it off, you must reactivate as soon as possible.

  • Several problems with Windows 8 - Upgrade-unable to download full

    Original title: several problems with Windows 8

    Last Sunday, after downloading Ab2word, my tiles shortcuts stop working. I have uninstalled the program, but nothing improved. I made an update of Dell and got the shortcuts work again (curiously I could always connect via the desktop). now, I get a message saying that Windows is disabled and to enable him, by putting in... but he says that it is impossible to activate. Then I tried the upgrade to 8.1 by the store and got a message saying that I was unable to complete the download. Now my shortcuts tiled work, but they open the sites registered by the office, not as a full screen. I tried to restore to the factory and now get the message that the system is unable to restore. I ran a dell diagnostic and it showed nothing. I did a full security scan and he came clean. I'm rapidly reaching crisis. When you try to seek help on the Web site, Windows 8 is not listed...

  • How can I minimize Firefox in one click when I have several tabs open?

    I used to be able to minimize Firefox with a single click on the icon in the taskbar, even with several tabs open. Now it doesn't let me. Now, when I move my mouse over the FF icon, a pop-up shows all open tabs and I need to find another way to minimize Firefox. I'm missing something here.

    I was right. I unchecked the box in the options that says "show previews of the tab in the Windows task bar" and everything works as I want it now. Thanks again for your help. These things are usually easy to fix, but hard to find sometimes.

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

    If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

  • Firefox crashes when you open windows close

    Hello

    Since updating to the new Firefox 18.0.1 every time I try to close a few open windows Firefox crashes. I would be reading my mail and after having about 10 open windows I go and check on the X to close the windows. I can close about five to seven of them with no problem but when I have about three of them left Firefox crashes. It is very annoying. I used the Firefox Safe Mode feature and this problem does not happen while in Safe Mode. I don't know what the next step is to fix this problem. Could you please help. Thank you
    

    If there is no problem in safe mode, this means that one of your "Add-ons" are the source of the problem and no 'plugins '. You will need to disable your "Add-ons" one by one to find the culprit. If you have Norton Toolbar 2012/2013 then that may be the one causing the problem if not it is an Add on the origin of the problem.
